19 American scenes

American lake

This pretty red boat sports the U.S. yacht ensign, and makes the perfect patriotic party decoration when tied to the dock or cruising around the lake!

Congress authorized this flag design in 1848 as a signal to be flown by yachts holding licenses from the Secretary of the Treasury, so they could enter American waters without having to clear customs every time they returned from sea.

Party time

A simple awning creates a miniature shaded outdoor room, which is the perfect place to serve beverages at a backyard party, or to sit and read a book. It's also a great spot to let the flag wave in the breeze.

Beautiful bunting

Pretty red, white, and blue bunting surrounds this breezy porch, coordinating with bench cushions, pillows, a vase full of flags, and other accessories. Even the dog fits into the patriotic color scheme!

Home in the hills

Corinne and Maurie Warner fashioned their Vermont home to look like an old horse barn, but on the inside, it has all the comforts of home. The bright colors of the flag really pop against the wood structure.
